Where I live, personal finance is the state-mandated “social studies” offering for all public high school seniors

Which is not uncommon.

Also very common is that econ can be used to meet the personal finance requirement.

Econ is a social science; personal finance is not.

Just because a school or state may categorize a course differently or require a course at all does not mean the colleges will view it the same - they won’t.

Many schools also mandate PE or theology, but those are still viewed as electives.
